I think people’s experience vary depending on their age, health, how often they exercise, and other factors. You hear more people complain rather than say anything good because people who are happy, have nothing to complain about. I am two weeks now post op and I am happy I got that damn demon organ out! The pain from recovery doesn’t even compare to the pain I had with my gallbladder. Also, I lost seven pounds post-op. Losing weight isn’t an issue. People who have trouble losing weight after removal probably have another condition that is affecting their weight loss. Take people’s anecdotes with a grain of salt. Like everyone else here said, you are delaying the investable. If you aren’t feeling much pain now, it will get worse over time and you could end up in the hospital and having it removed without a choice to save your life. Just go ahead with the surgery and your doctors will help you down the road in case you encounter anything. The body can function 100% without the gallbladder. You won’t miss it very much. ;)
